Our human relationship project (see the past thread below) has now been officially published in Nature Human Behavior nature.com/articles/s4156…. The article PDF can be freely download here rdcu.be/edpa2. We also wrote a behind-the-paper blog communities.springernature.com/posts/mapping-….

In this new paper, co-authored with Mathias Schmitz and @MarineRougier, we present the Brief Reverse Correlation. This improved version of the tool aims at measuring visual representations of social groups but opens the way to using individual images !!! @JeremyCone2 @easpinfo

Been waiting for this post. So thrilled that @LinChujun is joining us this July!

“I think it is going to take at least 10 years for American scientific and biomedical research to recover from this.” -@freemanjb nytimes.com/2025/04/22/sci…

Job alert 🚨 We’re hiring a full-time RA at Columbia starting Fall 2025! The RA will focus on several topics in the lab, including the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying dynamic social perception using fMRI and natural language processing. Link: freemanlab.org/ra2025

🚨 @mark_ho_ & I are recruiting a joint postdoc interested in computational models of social interaction & computational psychiatry 💻 Ideal candidates have experience with multi-player web-based experiments & computational cognitive modeling 🔗 apply.interfolio.com/165809

📢 The Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab is hiring! 📢 We're seeking a full-time Research Specialist/Lab Manager to study naturalistic conversation, social cognition, and spontaneous thought. More info here: psnlab.princeton.edu/join-us Please apply and share!

Wyd at 8AM this Saturday? If at #SPSP2025 in Denver and willing to tolerate such an aggressive time slot, please join us for our symposium on High-Dimensional Social Cognition, featuring @NicolasGandalf, @LinChujun, @josh_c_jackson, and myself

Congratulations to the brilliant @profmaitalneta for receiving the PECASE award!

Finally out @NatureHumBehav🚨 Across a large set of mental states, traits, situations, and faces, and participants in five continents🌎 We showed that face impressions shape inferences of others' momentary thoughts and feelings in various situations nature.com/articles/s4156…

🚨New in @PNASNews, led by @DSchultner & Ben Stillerman: In 8 studies, we test a mechanism through which exposure to societal stereotypes—even those we know may be false—can implicitly transform into individual-level prejudice and then spread across a community.

Excited to announce that Columbia's Department of Psychology is hiring a tenure-track faculty member! Emphasis on multi-method expertise and research programs that complement current strengths in the Department. Come join us! Review begins Nov. 1: apply.interfolio.com/157376

New research shows how brains process multiracial identities in real-time by using a computer technique to track hand movements. ✍️: @jahchwe, @freemanjb, David J. Lick Read more in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin: ow.ly/YuJt50TfqYf

New work in PSPB led by @jahchwe! 3-choice mouse-tracking reveals that when people make Multiracial categorizations they initially activate monoracial categories (White or Black) - but Multiracial exposure can attenuate this reflexive monoracial bias. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
